Light Touch my ass.
German artist Loretta Lux is said to have a “light touch” when it comes to using photoshop on her photos. I hope that Richard B. Woodward said that in the most ironic of meanings.
This woman’s photos are interesting but not great. She takes pictures of children, takes them out of their photo and inserts them into another photo creating an almost idyllic picture.
The children have had the...
Follow the Leader
I decided to join Grey Tuesday. Yay! Bandwagon, here I come.
UPDATE Yawn Back to normal! Stretches
Tech Blog
I have decided to start Walker Tech. It will be devoted to topics far too technical to be in this weblog.
If your eyes glaze over when people start spewing technical jargon, if you like that the problem has been fixed but could give a damn how it got fixed, if you like how my webpage looks but could give two shakes of a dead dog’s cock how it got like that, then this site will not be for you.

FedEx Acquires Kinkos
Did I miss out on the news or was the acquisition of Kinkos by FedEx not big news?
I think that FedEx made an excellent choice by doing this. They now have an even greater number of stores which can support their small customers. They also have made a foray into the electronic transmission of documents.
I see it as this:
Someone brings a report to Kinkos that they need duplicated. That...
Seeing too much in Hamburgers
A Hamburger is warm and fragrant and juicy. A hamburger is soft and nonthreatening. It personifies the Great Mother herself who has nourished us from the beginning. A hamburger is an icon of layered circles, the circle being at once the most spiritual and the most sensual of shapes. A hamburger is companionable and faintly erotic. The nipple of the Goddess, the bountiful belly-ball of Eve....
Columbias IM Program
I have been attending school at Columbia College for a year and a half now. I am taking classes in the Interactive Multimedia Program.
The Interactive Multimedia Program (or IM Program as we like to call it) is not a full fledged department. It has been trying to transition into Departmental status at Columbia College since it’s split from the Academic Computing Department.
Thus far the IM...
Blogging Software
You want to know what your bloggin options are?
Many people use livejournal, xanga or blogger because they are cheap/free. They are fairly easy to deal with as well but don’t leave alot of choice when it comes to customization or features.
Blogger offers a way to FTP to your own site, which is great for those who want to customize, unfortunately, the customization will take technical skill...
Image Map Use
Jason Kottke recently posted a question asking “When’s the last time you used an image map?”
I use an image map in one place, the front page of my site. I use it to hide my personal site so that I can host it and my business site on the same domain/server.
I love to come up with new splash pages so that I can find a nice little place to hide the link to my personal page.
I think that many...
School Site Rearrange
I have reorganized my web server. If you’re looking for my school work you can now find the forensics website here, the graphics and animation site here, and the sound site here.
The forensics site is a crime scene that provides you with a quick overview of the forensic sciences involved in the investigation.
The graphics and animation site is a website that I constructed while first learning...
Political Books and Speeches.
So, apparently the nation’s book readers are divided. Interesting look at what political books people read and purchase.
Also, I am going to post a recent Senator Dick Durbin speech here. Senator Durbin gave this rousing speech on the floor of the senate about CBS’s unwillingness to air MoveOn.org’s wonderful winning ad.
Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Delaware for his statement and for...
Superbowl Halftime
So Jon, Jon, Matt, and I were watching the superbowl and johnny z swore that he saw Janet’s breast at the end of the halftime show. The rest of us (except johnny g) saw Timberlake ripe something off her at the end of the show but were not quite ready to believe him. Apparently johnny z was right. ABC apologized for the “R rated” ending to the superbowl halftime show and said that MTV would...
